Dear DCIS Parents and Guardians,

Although the end of this half of term is fast approaching we have another busy week here at DCIS! Our secondary school information sessions for the upcoming trips are taking place tonight and following on from the excellent DCA quiz night on Friday the Years 7, 8 and 9 disco is taking place this Thursday.

On Friday Primary students are invited to come to school dressed in the traditional red and gold of Chinese New Year. We are also looking forward to seeing our students retelling the story of the Great Race in their assemblies this week.

A reminder that there are no ECAs running on Tuesday or Friday of this week.

I hope that you have a great week and a very enjoyable half term holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Monday, February 19th. Should you happen to be out and about with your DC Bear in the holidays then we would love to hear from you. Please visit DC Bear's FaceBook page to post your holiday pictures.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Mr. Christopher Short Principal

Calendar Events

Here is a list of the main events happening this week (do check our website calendar for updated events over the year)

Running Club

Under 8 Boys Football Trials

There will be NO School transport available after this session, therefore, please ensure you arrange the necessary collection for your child.

If your child already attends the Football ECA that occurs on Wednesdays from 3-4 pm then they will continue to make their usual route home either by school bus or at car pick up.

Children who are interested in participating in these trials who DO NOT attend Football ECA on Wednesdays MUST return the linked form and hand it to Mr. Johnson or Mr. Liperis at the PE office by Monday 19th February.

Students will need to bring boots, shin pads, and a water bottle.

Kind regards

Mr. Johnson

PE Teacher

Reading Volunteer Programme

‘Reading Volunteers' will be a regular commitment of approximately 1 hour per week and will be scheduled at the same time each week for those who would like to take part. If you are interested then please could you email the information below to Mrs. Norsheila Abdul: Norsheila.Abdul@dovercourt.edu.sg

Lunch Service: Sodexo

As previously communicated the main cafeteria is not accepting cash payments, but the DCIS Café will continue to accept cash. Although, the cash facility in the DCIS Café is really designed to accommodate parents for occasional use, we recommend that all students are signed up for a Campus Online account. This limits cash on site and allows parents to track purchases that students make during the day through their Campus Online accounts. You can access the Campus Online page at this link.

We have posted all winning entries from the Creative Writing Competition on Global Campus Online for classrooms and schools to choose which piece(s) to illustrate.

A reminder that students can use any medium they choose (e.g. painting, drawing, collage, sculpting, photography, stamping, digital art, etc).

Deadline Wednesday 21st March 2018

Please hand your entry to your class teacher or form tutor.

Photographers of the Year 2017/18 Calendar

We’re pleased to share that physical copies of the calendars have been presented to shortlisted winners.

Congratulations again to all entrants for their phenomenal work!

Creative Writing Competition School Winners

The entries that will be published in the Visual Arts & Creative Writing Anthology are now being used to inspire art for the Visual Arts Competition.

Take a look online to see them.

Have a great week everyone. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any queries you may have, and keep in contact! We love to see and hear what you have been up to with the Global Campus.

Many thanks,

The Global Campus Team

Parent Support Network

We are pleased to launch the first Parent Support Network meeting. This is a chance to meet up with other parents informally over a coffee and share experiences and support amongst friends. We're facilitating the first of these meetings, providing a space for parents to meet and will be inviting along a child psychologist to offer advice about any issues that may be concerning parents with their own children, outside of school. The network is independent of the school and open up to all parents of children with additional needs. The first network meeting will be held on Monday 26th February at 8:45am in the DCIS cafe. We hope you can come along.

The Great DC Bear Charity Sale

A final reminder that our student inspired DC Bears are available for purchase from School Reception for $25 with all profits being sent to charity. Read more about the sale here.
